Yesterday the winds of June
Pinching with the cold
Men gathering some wood
On a huge fire
Burning Saint John's Day
Ladies dressed up in cloth and ribbons
Dance of pretty witches
A party of fire and wood
Old ladies from Minas1
Widows of God
Trails, bites, shortcuts
Horseback talks, harness friendships
And today, barbed horizons, sunniness
Locks, latch, gate
That, on the roads of Minas1,
No longer open
1. a. b. Minas Gerais, one of the Brazilian states
